A rockin' good time

Labyrinths have been used since the beginning of society to serve as representations of human connection with mythical and universal realms. More and more artists, farmers and landscape architects have been using designs similar to the labyrinths existing in ancient times to promote connectedness between humans and land. What I've decided to do for my final project in this course is to create my own rock formation on a piece of land in my neighborhood. It has been vacant for many years and often sought out for usage of a community space or garden development. However, all ventures to occupy this dirt lot end without victory. It makes me question many things; land rights, water rights, human rights and art. If there are no signs, why can't one stand there? If there are no deliberate instructions that art cannot exist on the vicinity, why can't one create it?

So, with some friends of mine, we ventured into the desert to borrow some rocks. We drove far and wide to gather a variety of shapes and sizes that will make our labyrinth stand out. Since it is not necessary a deliberate fact that we can place these on the vacant lot, we've decided to make the shape at night, under the protection of the stars and in the company of the biggest moon of the year. A little apprehensive about how it will all turn out, but nevertheless, excited to be doing something out of the ordinary. Stay tuned for video footage and pictures.
